    Whats with Line 6?

    I've had a lowdown studio 110 for years. It's VERY well built. I've carted this thing around everywhere. It's rolled around in the back of my wagon, been dropped down stairs and had many a "beverage" spilled on it. It's still thumpin'! It's rated at 75 watts, but it's not usable with a...

    Double Bass NS Design NXT Megathread

    I use a Fishman Platinum Pro Bass EQ. It's amazing! Shapes the mids beautifully.

    sound guy ignoring direct out on amp

    they like to have "control" over your tone. MOst D.I. Boxes are "flat" and give them complete tonal control.

    Gallien Krueger MB212-II Report

    Had 4 of these things delivered, all 4 had damage from shipping! That and the fact that they rattle led me to Markbass...but I did prefer the tone of the GK to the Markbass...shame they can't get a handle on the build quality/shipping thing?

    Markbass CMD102P vs GK MB210 combo

    I prefer the sound of the GK mb210 II, but after buying and returning FOUR of them because they "rattled" like a can of bolts, I went with the Markbass 102p I don't like the sound as much, but it's still pretty killer, and it's built better in my opionion. I liked the GK speakers better and...

    probably not a bad idea. Thanks.

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    Thanks for the input. As for the GK, it definitely has a design flaw. it buzzed so badly that it changed the tone of the sound coming from the speakers. I thought at first I was expecting too much from the combos, but I just got back from GC where I played a different 102p. It did not make...

    GK MB210-II

    I have owned 4 in the past 3 weeks. I had to return EVERY one of them. They sound great, but as soon as you turn the volume up at all, it rattles like CRAZY! the back panel is so thin and there is something in there that moves around? I wanted desperately to LOVE It! Their customer service...

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    I looked at that too. Same build. Flimsy back panel is gonna rattle. I know you can't hear it rattling when your playing anyway cause EVERYTHING else is in the room is rattling too, but it makes me CRAZY!

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    I've been reading up on this. It seems that I've never had this issue before because I've always used 4x10 cabs? I get that. the "clicking" isn't horrible, you have to really be listening for it. I'm just concerned that I'm hurting the speakers? As for the GK and a screwdriver...man, i...

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    this is really frustrating. If I turn the bass WAY back the speakers don't "click", but then the UEB sound like poo! a big steamy pile of trebley poo! Shouldn't this cab be able to handle a UEB?

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    Def. not fingerboard rattle. It's def. coming from the speaker...specifically sounds like the right speaker. I've never played through a 2x10...always used 4x10 cabs before this. Maybe I'm just asking too much of it? Doesn't seem to be too much bass though? I can deal with the sound, I...

    Markbass 102p 2x10 or Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex/PF-115HE Stack

    I just picked up CMD 102p. Tried my UEB with it tonight and the speakers make this "clicking" sound when I push the bass and play lower notes? I can't imagine that this thing can't handle the UEB? It is a BASS amp after all? I wonder if we're talking about the same thing?

    New Markbass 102P speaker problems?

    Hey, I just sold my SWR/Ampeg SVT 410he rig. It was WAY too heavy to be lugging around. I started my search for a decent combo to play small gigs and for jam/rehearsals. Most of the time I go direct on stage and just use my pre-amps so I don't really need a huge amp/cab stack. I bought...
